Problem Note 2951: ERROR: Could not find Noxxx variable in data set
If you create a Scatter Control in a SAS/AF FRAME entry and, via the
Properties window, link the XVariable and YVariable attributes to an
attribute of another control that will return the name of a variable
(ie. selectedItem or text attribute of a listbox or text entry control,
respectively), the value of that attribute may not be assigned to either
the XVariable or YVariable attributes and you may get the following
error message in the Log window:
ERROR: Could not find Noxxx variable in data set
The name of the variable listed in the error message is the name of the
variable you have selected or specified with the first two characters of
that name replaced with the letters "No".
To circumvent this problem, programmatically assign values to the
XVariable and YVariable attributes. For example,
scatter1.XVariable=listbox1.selectedItem;
scatter1.YVariable=textentry1.text;
